About Me

Hi there! My name is Abby Shoen, and I’m thrilled to get to share a bit about myself with you. I’ve always been a creative person at heart, and growing up, my favorite class was always art. However, I wasn’t entirely sure how to turn that passion into a career. While studying for an Ag Business degree in college, I stumbled across graphic design and knew that was exactly what I wanted to pursue.

After finishing college, I found myself back home and working for my family’s feed mill. While I enjoyed the work, I always felt a deep yearning for something more, something creative that I could call my own. That’s when I discovered the joy of repurposing furniture. What started as a small hobby painting pieces quickly turned into a full-blown business building unique furniture items. I would lie awake at night, dreaming up new designs and sketching out plans in my head.

During the Covid pandemic, I met a local advertiser who was struggling with sales due to the economic downturn. Together, we came up with the idea to create a home magazine called The Southern MN Home Creative. Shortly after, we created the Kid Creative, a magazine for children. I fell in love with the process of putting my thoughts and ideas down on paper.

Today, I am still building furniture, still creating magazines, and still running the family’s feed mill. But now, I have the desire to share my passion and creativity with all of you. I’m so excited to embark on this journey, and I can’t wait to see where it takes me.

Apart from my work, I am also a proud wife and mother of two beautiful little girls who keep me busy and inspired every day.

Creativity Comes in Many Forms, For me, it’s Writing, Designing, Building, Decorating, DIY, Gardening, Cooking, even Decorating!
